How do I establish an HTTPS connection?

[MatuX]

Hey guys,

Today question is simple...

As soon as I try to establish a connection with an https server (previously working over http), I get these errors:

QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSLv3_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_CTX_new
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function SSL_library_init
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function ERR_get_error
QSslSocket: cannot call unresolved function ERR_error_string

Obviously I need to implement some sort of https handling.

I've been trying to search the net on this matter and haven't found any clear examples or tutorial.

I've read about QSslSocket, but implementing such thing would throw all my previous implementation using QNetworkAccessManager away! There has to be a more integrated way to do this...

Thanks!

I also tried implementing the sslErrors(QNetworkReply*,const QList<QSslError>&)) SIGNAL from QNetworkAccess but it never gets called.

When we tried it it "just worked". Note that we didn't use the deprecated QHTTP stuff, though -- used QNetworkAccessManager. Also note that this was on phone and emulator, not simulator.

I tried several things and it ended up working, this is what I did (not sure if I need to do everything or just one of these things):

- Implemented QNetworkAccess sslError signal with a ignoreSslErrors() to the reply
- Set the QNetworkRequest instance setSslConfiguration to QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguartion());
- Installed OpenSSL on Windows and copied the three dlls to wherever QNetwork4.dll and QNetwork4d.dll where inside NokiaQtSDK.

Perhaps this will help somebody.

Best

Yeah, you'll need to ignore SSL errors if you don't have the right certificates installed.

I was successful in making call https://www.google.com in this Example in WinXP.
All you got to do is keep Open-SSL libraries in correct location as per platform. I chose to install Open-SSL binaries and they went straight into WinXP DLL folder. Don't think of writing new code
